There are two shareware versions of the GRAB Plus and WinGRAB system.
Because of the size of the files we have split the DOS version and the
Windows version into two separate shareware evaluation packages. If you
have the DOS version, disregard any references to the Windows programs
and if you have the Windows version disregard any references to the DOS
programs. The manual is in the file GRAB.DOC and covers both versions.
If you'd like to evaluate both the DOS and the Windows version contact
you shareware distributor for the set that you do not have. When you
register the full package for $49.95 you will receive both the DOS and
the Windows versions. See the GRAB.DOC file for registration information.
The BBS version has three files: WINGRAB.ZIP holds the Windows specific
files while GRAB.ZIP holds the DOS specific files and GRABDOC.ZIP holds
the documentation style sheets and other files used by both versions of
teh GRAB Plus system. You need at least two files to use either of the
packages, GRABDOC.ZIP plus either GRAB.ZIP or WINGRAB.ZIP.

WinGRAB Special Windows User Package
****************************************************************************
* BONUS FOR WINDOWS USERS *
****************************************************************************
* *
* We have included a bonus program in this package. WinGDB is the Windows *
* version of GRABDB and LaserLabel. This is a pre-release version of this *
* program. The instructions are in the file WINGDB.DOC and may be printed *
* by using the DOS copy command: *
* *
* COPY WINGDB.DOC PRN: <press enter> *
* *
****************************************************************************
Word for Windows users:
WINWIN10.DOC is a macro for Microsoft Word for Windows. It will add WinGRAB
to your utilities pulldown of WinWord.
WINWGDB.DOC is a macro for Microsoft Word for Windows. It will add WinGDB
to your utilities pulldown of WinWord.
Ami Pro users:
AMI_GRAB.SMM is a macro similar to the WinWord macro. The file AMI-GRAB.DOC
explains how to use this macro.
Other Windows word processor users:
For those that have Windows word processors other than Word for Windows.
WinGRAB can be called by your execute command if your word processor has
a macro language. The command line "WINGRAB /R" will run WinGRAB and print
an envelope without stopping to pop up.
PostScript Printer users:
The font names are changed in the regular font changing selection for the
PostScript printers now. The font size is changed in the locations setup
section now. The locations are now the same as all other printers using
the row and column positioning to set up for printing.
Different manufacturers of PostScript cartridges have hardware specific
PostScript calls that can be used. We have added the ability to enter the
PostScript statusdict to select the different trays of the Hewlett Packard
cartridges. You have up to six lines you can enter in the Printer setup
strings routines. Several PostScript examples are:
Hewlett Packard LaserJet IIP and IIIP MP tray selection:
statusdict begin
true settrayswitch
0 setpapertray
end
Hewlett Packard LaserJet optional envelope feed trays:
statusdict begin
true settrayswitch
2 setpapertray
end
Information on postal bar codes. GRAB and WinGRAB will only print the bar
codes on ZIP+4 zip codes. If you do not have the plus four the bar code
will not be printed.
Presently the only printers supporting the bar codes are:
Hewlett Packard LaserJets and compatibles.
PostScript printers.
Epson dot matrix and compatibles.
We're sorry the Hewlett Packard DeskJet is not compatible with the PCL
graphic line drawing that prints the bar codes on the LaserJet printers.
We have the bar codes turned off in the style sheets PLAIN-S.STL and
PLAIN-L.STL because the bar codes would print garbage if used on a printer
that was not Epson compatible. If you want the bar codes to print you must
set the configuration in GRABCFG or through WinGRAB to print the bar codes.
LaserLabel and postnet bar codes:
LaserLabel will print the postnet bar codes if you have the ZIP+4 ZIP codes
in the GRABDB database. The new "wide area" bar code will be processed by
the post office after June 17, 1991. This option is only available on the
large Avery 5162/5262 labels used by the laser printers. Check with the
post office for discounts on postage when using the postnet bar code
feature.
